We didn't get to go offshore as was booked and paid for which was disappointing. We were really looking forward to getting on some bigger fish as we only got to bring home 1. The crew did keep moving us. They were helpful, attentive and very knowledgeable. They also took us over to Shark Tooth Island which was fun and we saw dolphins.

We are so sorry the waves were a little to big for us to go offshore that day. We hope everyone had a good time on the charter even though we had to stay inshore. We hope to see you guys again, and we can get offshore fishing next time. - Capt Rick & Kristen Lizardfish Charters and Island Adventures 🏝

Had an amazing and memorable trip! Thank you soo much for everything ❤️ very flexible and accommodating!! Did everything we wished for and more!! Awesome doesn't cut it! Very educational and down to earth guy! We will definitely meet again ❤️ beautiful trip and and amazing memories ❤️

Thank you for the great review! We are so glad the weather finally somewhat corporated and we were able to get offshore to get you guys some sharks like you wanted! - Capt Rick and First Mate Nick Lizardfish Charters and Island Adventures 🏝

I want to thank Capt. Rick and Capt. Kristen for showing my daughter and her husband a great time yesterday! The weather was perfect and Capt. Rick and Capt. Kristen worked very hard to find the fish! My daughter and son-in-law were impressed with their knowledge, helpfulness and all around great attitude! They are still talking about the fun they had! Thank you! I highly recommend LIZARDFISH CHARTERS!!!!
Rick and his first mate son RJ were an incredible duo! They took us out for a 4-hour fishing tour offshore and were ready to go with all the gear and bait without an issue. After some luck, we headed back to do some inshore fishing as one of our party was getting a little seasick. Rick was great and understanding and took care of us incredibly well. Along the intercostal, we stopped and fished at the swansboro bridge and a few spots along the waterway. The two of them assisted us as we hooked a ton of croakers and sea bass and we had a great time. Wonderful captain and first mate with a good energy!

Thank you for choosing to book your adventure with us! We are so glad you had a great time on your charter, and thank you for the great review! -Lizardfish Charters and Island Adventures 🏝
Spending the day on the local inshore channels, rivers and sounds of the Crystal Coast was a perfect way to elevate our Emerald Isle family vacation! Despite high waves that kept us from venturing deep sea offshore, Captain Rick and First Mate RJ did a perfect job with making my family feel right at home on their well-equipped boat while navigating the beautiful waters of the area. Fishing from several different spots, we pulled in a variety of great fish including sea bass, croakers, hogfish, blue fish, lizardfish, puffer fish and even a large flounder! We capped off the day with bonus time hunting shark teeth on one of the inshore islands. Captain Rick and RJ were super friendly while working very hard to make sure our group had a fantastic time! Highly recommend Lizardfish Charters Offshore!

Thank you for the great review Steve! We are so glad that your enjoyed your day on the water with us, regardless of not being able to venture offshore. We are glad we got to be apart of your family making good memories while here on vacation, and hope to see you again if you visit this area again. Thank you for booking with us! -Capt Rick & First Mate RJ Lizardfish Charters and Island Adventures 🏝
